Resumo: The imperative to decolonize has now taken several disciplines by storm. For many, the foil of the call to decolonize are postcolonial approaches, presented as tainted by coloniality and as having a reduced to non-existent liberating potential. This essay highlights critiques of the Latin American decolonial project, including decoloniality as an academic power struggle leading to self-progression and enrichment of global north academics and institutions, lack of self-awareness of its own entanglements in coloniality, and forms of intellectual fundamentalism and policing of thought under claims of virtuosity. The essay closes by pointing out that the decolonial project also complements the current and ongoing corporatization of universities.

Para muitas, o adversário são as abordagens pós-coloniais, apresentadas como viciadas pela colonialidade e quase totalmente desprovidas de potencial para a liberação. Este ensaio ressalta críticas ao projeto decolonial latino-americano, incluídas apreciações da decolonialidade como um conflito acadêmico de poder que leva à progressão profissional e enriquecimento dos acadêmicos e instituições do norte global, da falta de autoconsciência do emaranhamento próprio na colonialidade, e de formas de fundamentalismo intelectual e policiamento do pensamento sob premissas de virtuosismo. O ensaio conclui notando a complementariedade do projeto decolonial com a corporatização em curso das universidades.Universidade Federal Fluminense2022-12-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/article/view/5359110.22409/gragoata.v27i59.53591Gragoatá; Vol. 27 No. 59 (2022): The worldliness of postcolonial studies; e53591Gragoatá; v. 27 n. 59 (2022): A mundanidade dos estudos pós-coloniais; e535912358-41141413-907310.22409/gragoata.v27i59reponame:Gragoatáinstname:Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)instacron:UFFenghttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/article/view/53591/32872Copyright (c) 2022 Gragoatáhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.ptinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAltschul, Nadia2022-12-15T14:02:29Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/53591Revistahttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoataPUBhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/oai||revistagragoata@gmail.com2358-41141413-9073opendoar:2022-12-15T14:02:29Gragoatá - Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)false
